Results Already - Pain Bearable (For Me) - London, UK

I had the first part of the procedure done a week ago, done by a highly experienced and very professional nurse technician at a plastic surgeon's office. I had done a lot of research, so knew what to expect - including the pain. I have a pretty high pain threshold, but was worried at my consultation when she told me all they use are oral painkillers, co-codamol and gas+air. I still chose to proceed, and don't regret it for a second. It certainly stung near the jaw and cheekbone and we had to go pretty slowly at times, but other places I hardly felt it. So, I think it's important when reading these reviews that you understand each person will have a different experience with the pain. If you are very worried you'll have too much pain - press this issue with your doctor, or consider another procedure. This isn't for everyone, but it doesn't mean the technology isn't good. (I found deep breathing and visualization really helped too - worth practicing!)

We did one pass all over lower face and under chin with the deep transducer, and then under chin with the mid-depth. The tech decided to stop there because I was quite flushed (I blush easily) and even though I felt fine about continuing, she didn't want to injure me so we rescheduled for a weeks' time to finish up. Though I was disappointed not to finish there and then (impatient!), I was very grateful the nurse was so conscientious. She called me the next day (a Sunday, no less, her day off) to see how I was feeling, and midweek to check again.

I returned yesterday for the final bit, and really, the results are impressive already. My nasolabial lines are halved, and my jowly bits have softened. The only area where the jury is out is my under-chin which did swell a bit and where I feel the skin is a bit more lax, but we're taking a wait-and-see approach - they may be able to attend to this with more lines on the sides of my neck to effectively pull it up, which they have offered in case we don't see improvement. (The swelling is going down daily and it's nothing worrying).
I also had one line which went through my cheek and I could sense it inside my mouth when it happened. This sounds much worse than it really was, it was just weird. I had the line in my mouth for a few days but it was entirely painless, and teeny.
My jaw is still a little tender, but in a weirdly satisfying way! It means it's working...

So, all in all, I'm a very happy customer and if the results are this good now I can't wait for the final result. I highly recommend it if you are prepared for the pain, but as with me, it may not be that bad for you. Do think hard about it. The nurse did report that there were people who had to call off the procedure because it was too excruciating. I do think that being mentally prepared can help enormously. If you're stressy about pain, this might not be best for you.
